Normally, epinephrine (also called adrenaline) down-regulates its own synthesis. However, tumors of the sympathetic nervous system or the adrenal glands can cause elevated epinephrine; pheochromocytoma is one such condition. Some of the symptoms are elevated heart rate and blood pressure, anxiety, pallor, headaches, excessive sweating, etc.
A medical emergency is likely to be caused by injected epinephrine. An overdose of epinephrine can cause fatal hypertension and brain hemorrhage, pulmonary edema, as well as precipitate existing angina pectoris. Like many stimulants that act on the heart, fatal ventricular arrhythmias are also a risk.
